First Day of School

August 11 was the first day of school.  It was a half-day on a Friday again.  For the life of me I don't understand why our district does it that way.  It was the first time both girls started school on the same day.

Hannah has been looking forward to 3rd grade for awhile because they get to take their ipads home instead of leaving them at school!  She also has flexible seating and she can sit wherever she wants each day.  The bad news is she has only one recess and because of construction it will take place in the parking lot. :(  She has 7 girls and 11 boys in her room.  Two of the girls were in her class last year (one is her best friend) and the other girls have never been in class with her before.

Olive's teacher was Hannah's first grade teacher!  She also has 7 girls and 11 boys in her class, and only 1 girl that was in her kindergarten class with her (also her best friend).

After the first day Hannah said, "It felt good to be back at school and be with my friends!"  Olive was super excited and talked non-stop about everything that went on that day.  I love that they love school!
